Chapter 554: Chapter 337: The First Time Letting Go in My Life 2
Tang Baijin glanced at her: "Many women yearn to appear younger, yet you insist on showcasing your age every minute of the day!"
Tian Xin laughed: "What’s there to hide in front of you?"
Reaching this point, she looked at the deep meaning seemingly present in Tang Baijin’s eyes under the lights, but she didn’t scrutinize; she turned her head away instead.
He knew everything about her.
When she was designed to fall into a trap by Qian Zhi Ling and Tang Yanran and left with nothing, it was he who embraced her with his clothes...
When her car was rear-ended, it was he who stayed by her side, using his coat to shield her from the cold winds and rain...
On the island, they had shared the most intimate relationship; he didn’t remember, but she remembered it all...
Recalling all these, she realized she and he had been through so much together.
She felt a bit unnatural, even though she was usually bold and unconcerned, but some things had happened indeed.
It wasn’t deliberate on her part, nor was he a predator.
Others brought harm to both her and him, yet, by some twisted fate, they ended up sharing so many intimate moments.
In contrast to her evasion, Tang Baijin was quite forthright as he told her: "Come on, count down with the bell tolls, it will ease your heart a lot..."
He had already started to shout out the countdown numbers with the crowd: "Six... five... four..."
Seeing him never utter much, Tian Xin joined in too: "Three... two... one..."
The entire square burst into life, everyone jumped up, hugging each other and cheering loudly to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.
In one motion, Tang Baijin pulled Tian Xin into his arms, catching her off guard.
How could this be?
She questioned herself inwardly, wasn’t she in love with Yang Junyi?
She jolted, hurriedly reaching out to push him away; however, her racing heartbeat made her realize she was truly in turmoil...
Tang Baijin didn’t mind her reaction, not knowing when he got the fireworks in his hand, and passed them to her: "Let’s go to the open area and light the fireworks..."
Tian Xin felt like a robot under his command, obediently following his every directive.
As the beautiful fireworks exploded passionately in the sky, her face too beamed with a splendid smile, the crackling of firecrackers and the sound of fireworks, along with the cheering, covered up the pounding of her heart.
She thought, he couldn’t hear any heartbeat of hers, nor see any expression of hers anymore.
The festive mood is quite infectious.
Tian Xin had no time for sorrow; Tang Baijin led her around the square like a carefree child, and she didn’t realize how long it had been since she last felt this happy!
Tang Baijin also played along with her, their hands sometimes inadvertently tethered, then let go again.
"Tang Baijin, what are you thinking?" Tian Xin was tired, she sat down by the fountain.
It had been too long since she last played so madly; she was out of breath and gasped for air.
After a glance at her, Tang Baijin made Tian Xin feel that her question was misplaced, so she changed it: "What is your New Year’s wish?"
"To find a woman and settle down!" Tang Baijin said flatly but seriously.
Drinking the mineral water he handed her, Tian Xin almost choked, she scrutinized his expression and realized he was indeed serious, not merely speaking for the sake of it!
"Whether you love her or not?" Tian Xin still took an interest; she knew he loved Bei Ran.
Tang Baijin also took a sip of water, then capped the mineral water bottle, saying: "If I’ve decided to live with her, I’ll try my best to love her, seriously love her. I’ll turn over the old Chapter and enter a new pattern of life."
Tian Xin nodded. She didn’t doubt his words; after all, he was a man in his thirties now. Since he had decided to be resolved, regardless of whether he had moved on in his heart or not, out of respect for the other half, he would do so.
"Congratulations, you’ve finally stepped out of the prison of love!" Tian Xin raised her bottle of mineral water, "Let’s drink to this as if water were wine, cheers!"
Tang Baijin toasted with her, but she missed the fleeting tenderness in his eyes.
"What about you?" Tang Baijin asked in return.
"I..." Tian Xin thought for a while: "I seem to have quite a few New Year’s wishes. First, although Song Xuyao is despicable, I still hope he wakes up, at least my parents will be happy! I will also let go of Junyi, learn to live anew, or perhaps one day, I’ll travel alone and encounter a man along the way, possibly fall in love at first sight, get married and have children..."
